Had the opportunity to go goating today. We took Huck and Yukon out to some old logging roads that lead to a waterfall, hoping to try some off-leash work. They had pep to there step right from the start, probably because they were nervous. Once we got in a mile, I unclipped their leads and Yukon kept up just fine. No more slow poke goat... We did between 5-6 miles round trip, full of raging creek crossings above knee height, and slippery log walking. Huck found out what happens when you walk into a deep mud puddle.
And we encountered my biggest fear. A 100# off leash dog that won't listen to it's owner. Luckily Huck and Yukon froze instead of bolting. And also the dog was more interested in a curious manner than aggressive. Either way Nick was ready with the pepper spray. Off leash dogs and off leash goats really freak me out.

Today we stroll the neighborhood, someday we'll climb mountains together..
